The first-ever municipal elections in Meghalaya’s Garo Hills were adjourned on Fridayafter law and order collapsed due to anti-poll protests. Chief Electoral Officer Prashant Naik said the law and order situation is not conducive for elections and so it has been adjourned.Despite heavy deployment of police and paramilitary forces, Mob build-up was reported at several places across the three districts of East, West and South Garo Hills since late Thursday evening. A candidate's vehicle was set on fire by miscreants at Resubelpara in East GaroHills, while boulders and felled tress were stacked up at roads to prevent movement. The Joint Action Committee, a conglomerate of several organisations, had called for a three-day bandh from Wednesday in the three districts of Garo Hills objecting to the municipal elections scheduled for today. They claim that the Municipal election will be violating the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution and lead to erosion of powers of the traditional bodies like the Council of Nokma (Village Council).
